Border Terrier puppies and dogs in Middletown, Connecticut

Post Malone is a scruffy little guy operating under the firm belief that he is much, much bigger. He moves through life with a confidence, carries himself like he has places to be and people to see, and packs an impressive amount of personality into his compact body. The only time his self-image shifts away from that big-dog illusion is the moment he decides he likes you. That's when Post remembers that he is conveniently lap-sized. Then he is climbing in close, handing out kisses and settling into your space like that was his plan all along. Go watch Post Malone on YouTube and meet the little guy with all that scruffy charm. https://youtu.be/oCP2aJWOd2k Now with all the talk of his confidence, it should not be confused that he isn't still sensitive. When faced with new places or loud, busy environments, Post will seek comfort from his people. His confidence is still there he is just setting it aside for a bit in the name of being comforted. We can't blame him, we'd do the same if we could. Dogs seem to make perfect sense to Post Malone. He has been confident meeting new dogs, meeting and playing with wide range of sizes and personalities, and is wonderfully tolerant. A funny moment during a recent playgroup showed off his patience. When a shy puppy eventually found his courage and celebrated by zooming around, he stepped all over Post as he became a tiny tornado and Post simply let it happen. He has also shared toys nicely and has a dog buddy named Mopsey. He doesn't appear to need another dog to provide his confidence, but he enjoys canine company. Cats are where Post's possible terrier roots show. He is far too interested in chasing them, so Post is looking for a cat-free home. At home, we suspect there is a very cozy future waiting for this guy. He appears to fall somewhere in the low-to-medium energy range and is apartment-friendly. He has basic leash skills, responds to guidance with ease and doesn't strike us as a dog who needs a huge amount of activity to be happy. A walk, some sniffing around, a little play, and then perhaps an appointment with your couch and lap sounds perfectly his speed. What we already know about Post is pretty endearing- underneath the scruff and big-boy confidence is a small dog who makes friends fast, enjoys other dogs, seeks his people for comfort and knows exactly what to do with an available lap. If your home has room for one little dog with approximately 75 pounds of self-confidence, Post Malone is ready to give you VIP Passes and front row seats to his show. Ready to make the first move?
